“We are sincerely sorry for the significant inconvenience.”

WestJet reported a “system-wide outage” that was impacting operations, Saturday.

Social media posts suggested many WestJet customers were waiting hours to board flights, with some missing connecting flights.

B.C. resident Carmen Eberle said her son waited to board a flight in Vancouver since for more than four hours.

“There have been no updates. There is no information coming out and people are getting frustrated,” said Eberle.

“It’s been a long wait and people are left in the dark.”
